Opening:

The people behind taco joint La Carnita are opening another restaurant. Called Home of the Brave, it’s located above barbecue spot Lou Dawgs at 589 King St. W. (at Portland St.). The place will serve up dishes inspired by American cities, including Boston, Chicago, New York, and Key West. It’s aiming for an August start.

Closing:

The Hoof Raw Bar (923 Dundas St. W., at Bellwoods Ave.) has closed. Jen Agg, who owns the adjacent Black Hoof and Cocktail Bar, said the seafood restaurant (which also housed pop-up brunch spot The Hoof Café) is being transformed into a Haitian spot called Rhum Corner. Come September, expect laid-back comfort dishes like accra, rice and beans, and fish, as well as a selection of quality rum.
